oooo... thx for the clarification... so i assume that all sport automatic transmissions have the buttons then??? i hope its the same for canadian spec models too then.... mine is coming in end of may.... so i'll figure it out then =P

Is the button/switch to change modes between Sport+, Sport, and Normal come with Performance Control or Dynamic Damping Control?

Perforance Control and Driving Dynamics Control are the same thing, and that is the name of the switch. Not sure why it has two names. The button is there if you have a 28i with DHP, or a 35i with DHP and/or SAP. In the case of 35i with SAP but without DHP, the switch will adjust the shift points and firm up the power steering ONLY. It will not change the suspension settings.

I believe so. I think the terms are different for US/CA/AU/EU, but the feature is the same.

Funny because when I ordered the car in mid January, my SA said that for the 28i, dynamic handling package was not available, nor the sports seats (or rear heated seats), not even as a special order. So either he didn't know or check with someone higher up (which he said he did), I suspect he lied. Must be a Canadian configuration thing.

I didnt' want to spend the extra $10k to move up to the 35i, just to get these features (plus I didn't want the turbo'd engine).

He didn't lie, you still can't get Dyn Handling on a 28i in Canada. I don't think you can get Sport seats on a 28i either in Canada. And the 35i is only $5K more than the 28i on base price.
